MODULAR CONVEYOR ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A modular conveyor is defined by a belt-supporting frame (4), leg supports (2) fox supporting the frame (4), and a continuous conveyor belt (6) supported and guided by the frame (4) for continuous movement. The modular conveyor is improved by providing the frame (4) with a plurality of modular frame assemblies (16) and connector assemblies (14, 18) for joining the modular frame assemblies (16) end to end to form conveyors of different size and shape wherein the connector assemblies (14, 18) and modular frame assemblies (16) are joined end to end in alternating relationship. The connector assemblies (14, 18) comprise straight connector assemblies (14) for extending the conveyor along a linear path and angular connector assemblies (18) for extending the conveyor along an angular path with respect to a preceding modular frame assembly (16). The angular connector assemblies (18) can be used to extend the conveyor along an upward direction or along a downward direction. Each of the modular frame assemblies (16) comprises at least one frame member (8) with a belt guide channel (124) to guide an edge of the belt (6), at least one cross member (26) attached to the frame member (8) and belt supports (100) on the cross members (26). The modular frame assemblies (16) are preferably made of synthetic plastic resin.
